fTSAIT. LATIMU AID MoLADBIJI BLACK-LIST *T. Washikotom, Ntnk 27.?Quite i kuition vu created in the South Carolina colmj today and especially among the polilicanr. Congressmen Strait and Latimer, who osme hero upon a telegram from Senaier Itfcjr yesterday morning, called te aee the ^^^^wtfUAMliUiit PoatniMler Qeneral tbia In~a eoDTtrCtturSM' Mue;^ pernios a discovery was made which morii fled these gentlemen very much, tIs : That they had been plaeed upon the black llat and were not entitled te make nominal ions of Democratic poetmaatera on acoount of being third partyilee. The/ found that with them MeLaurin ulee waa black-listed. These gentlemen were eery indignant and pre tee ted that their Democracy waa us good and true as that of any roan in South Carolina ; that this was un unkind, untrue and sneaking statement. Tbey felt aggrieved somewhat, without iae awMannn at fit* AV.CnntrrMimPIl . fVo - their districts. J The rule has prevailed in Congress (lint Democrats who are defeated by Republicans under Democratic admin'stialiens control the patronage in their districts in Northern 8tatee. These gentlemen believe that it was an unfair advantage that had been taken of them by the ex-Congressmen from these dictriota. The Fourth Assistant Postmaster General was surprised at their deelaratioa end gave them very little satisfaction. They left the postofhce and went to the Senate chamber and bad a conference with Senator Irby. A* soon as tha Senate adjourned, Senator * Irby and Messrs. Strait and Latimer went to tne Postoffioe Department. Senator Irby told General Maxwell that lie bad called to seo him as the Dsmocratio State Chairman of South Carolinn, and not as a Senator, and that these men had been treated with great injustice; that thejr had defeated their Democratic opponents nt the Democratic primaries and were the regular nominees of the Democratic party in their district!*, and were tho only true representatives of the people. General Maxwell then invited Senator Irby to go and see the Postmaster General. Tho statement was repeatsd to Mr. Bisscll, who promised that the whole matter would be taken under consideration, und that justice would be done as soon as tho rush Your correspondent auk?<1 Senator Irby if he lind any idea who wus the author of ihi? report.

Rtoiio nr Hi.trrsT ftTUN ? "A few days ago tho Columbia /{n/t-hr came out with a flaming dispatch which was headed: 'rilltnauitcs draw first blood,' "a great day's work for Senator Irby.' "The hotly of tho dispatch tdiowcd among other things that Senator Irby by his masterly influence had secured a good position in Washington for cx-Jtidgo Townscnd. "Now, let us look at the record of this man, who is the recipient of such marked favors at tho hands ot Senator Irby. Let us examine tho record of the first man from the ranks of Cleveland-haters who is rewarded with office. "C. 1'. Tuwusend, from Ik-iiucttsville, Marlboro county, Soutli Carolina, whom Senator Irby lias had appointed to a place in tbe department of the interior inWashington, is a ltepublican. lie was elected a ltepublican judge by tbo Republican Lcgislatuiu in 1872, re-elected in 1870, when his election, along with all the other judges in the State, was declared illegal. In 1878, the Democratic Legislature elected Judgo Hudeon in him place. ban Towns and (uUABtvrfnd tJrypTl - 1 1 booker McLauo for Governor against If ugh Thompson. "In 1889, Townsend wus applicant for district attorney for South Cnroliuu under President Harrison. "In 1892, Towusond tried to run in tho Deniocratio primary for solicitor and was beaten by J. M. Johnson, a conservative. ' This is the first blood Senator Irby has drawn. This is the representative of the Tillman faction first to be h mured. "Wo submit that if such meu are to be heralded to (ho world as representatives of South Carolina Democracy, hotter put the ' poll list in a hat and draw names indtscriui- | iuntely for high government positions. If Senator Irby had rausicked tho State he could scarcely have done worse than appoint a radical judge who was turned out of otlice by the tidal wave of Democracy which gave us a Hampton for a Scott, a Moses and u Townsend."?S'jutrtanbury llcraUI.

Twelve persons are known to have perished, and many cattle were destroyed. More ' destruction is feared the ri\ers, whoso ' usual channels have been obstructed, arc rising rapidly. Weiiiird in Death.? l'sssChristian, Miss., March 16.?A most startling discovery was 1 made here today of the bodies of Miss Julia i Kunueinacher, daughter of Herman Nunnc- , inaclier, a prominent merchant of Milwaukee, and William E. Miller, also of Milwaukee, both of whom had been shot through the head. ' This aftornoou a young boy fouud the i bodies in a pino thicket on the north side of the railroad, about 1100 yards front the depot. From the position in which they were lying the supposition is that the young 1 man must have lirst shot his companion 1 through the left templo and then shot himself behind the right ear .and death in both instauces must have resulted instnuily. The affair was evidently premeditated, a* Mr. Miller had borrowed a pistol from one | of the citizen* on that looming. The deadly weapon was found by Ins side, where it had l'allea after lit had fired the fatal shot. Editor Williams, of the (jrrcnvillt A'ltrj, writes from Washington to his paper that Senator llutler, having signed e* Judge Townseuds paper under the niisappreh.iltion that he was Attorney General Townsand, (a vory different man,) has withdrawn hie endorsement, and that his commission will probably not be issued. We liepo not. Secretary Smith has been deceived, and he will, we are sure, correct It is error when ha discovers the fact.

His ens? reminds lis of what the old negro said on coining out of the water, spluttering ami blowing, when lie was baptized: "Mome gciumen am gwiuo to lose a nigger if tlis il --ii foolishness ain't stopped." South Carolina will lose a Senator if lrby continues in such bad health atul don't change his medical advisees. The other Senators may not mi..?.? him, but, nevertheless, in his death this State would be minus its minor Senator. The despatch says: ''For the past throe weeks Dr. Sampson Pope has been attending I lie Senator, but now he has gone home, Dr. Strait, the "Reform" Congressman, is a (ministering to him. _ ? Public meetings have been held in this town for the purpose of considering the question of who would be most acceptable among the numerous candidates lor the 9Hice of Postmaster. Nothing definite was decided on at either meeting, but at the meeting last Monday a resolution was idopted recommending either one of the following candidates as being acceptable te ike patrons of this postoflice : 11. T. (lee, M. A. Moore. J. W. McIntro, W, M. Gibbes, J. A. 15 row it, L. P. Murphy nud II. W. Harris. There arc other candidates for the otlice : N. G. liittlejohn, J. W. Gregory, A. C.

Made Haines, the alleged murderer ?f Miss Florence Horuesby, in llicliland Bounty, who was sentenced to bo hung last Friday, was rcjpited by Governor Tillman just before the time of execution, to the Hist of April. From what wo have read iu the Columbia paper*, we think the respite was n >t onl v prudent but merciful. A majority of the people in that county appear to have el l ong doubt as to Haines being the guilty parly ; while the prisoner himself persistently protests that he is innocent of the crime. The respite was read to hint during the religious exercises preparatory to the expected moment of execution, when the prisoner and his fiiends had given up all hope for a respite or pardon,but up to that tiuie he solemnly asserted that not only was ho innocent of the critnt himself, but ho knew nothing about it. (Sovcrnor Tillman visited the prisoner and talked with him in his cell the day before, and, no doubt, became impressed with a doubt as to his guilt, so tempering mercy with the stern demands of justice, gave him the benefit of that doubt, in the hope thaf. if innocent of the | crime, some new light may appear to reveal the guilty party and save hira from an ig numinous death.

Talk bout the people now having the privilege of eleoting a candidate for Governor anjr more than tlicy had before the farmers' Muvement was inaugurated, is political claptrap. Why Tillman and Irby have such complete coutrol of the machinery or organization of the democratic parly of this State, through 111 o Slate Executive Committee, that it in considered treason to opposo llieia, personally, or their mandates iu manipulating the party s movements. If such matters were "cut and dried" by the "Celumbiu ring" under the former organization of the democratic party and was such a great crime against the people, we ask if there is not a similar ling now in Columbia, controlling tiie choice of a Governor and every other Stale oflioial ? And it not the crime equally ns heinous now, ns then '! We know that, oriltrs have boen issued from the Columbia ring, within the past three years,that coriain men should bo nominated or rejected for office, and the mandates wore scrupulously obeyed. Don't we all know that democracy in South Carolina has been submerged and Ciinpletely lost sight of in (lie lurbulunt waters of Tillmanism ? The test of a man's Democracy in this Stute _is his voting for Tillman, and ihe best of Tillman's Democracy is proscribing of every individual or a coiiiuitini'y that docs not endorse him and the Shell manifesto, written by liiiu.

We always vole (he ticket nominated by the State democratic Committee, but wc are ot so green as to think that we, as one of the people, had any voice in selecting any cand date on it, or not to know that the wlio'e matter IimiI been "cut and dried," perhaps befuro the committee met, and nil we had to do was to "follow the leader," and vote it blind. ranurj- ?? ? ?

All indications show very plain that we will get a low prica for cotton next fall, if i large crop is made I his year. [We can't understand our friend's logio in assuming that farmers in debt must ra eo n ' large crop of cotton to moet their obligations," while it wi l bo folly for those out of bebt to do bo. It seems to us that if a small crop, costing lets to produce it, will bring ns much cash as a larger one, costing more to produce it, the farmers having obligations to meet in the fall, aro the very ones to adopt the small crop system Tho "other fellows" can stand selling cotton at just wluit it cost to raise it, or can afford to hold it for bettor pi ices; but he wild*expects to get out of debt by raising cotton and selling it at wbat it oost, or less, will lertnioly "see his folly" in (ho fall, when he is called on to to meet his obligations out of a large and unprofitable crop of cotton. Our friend's nromaitinn ie very evidently, that all the farmers who are out of debt should plant only small crops of cottoa to keep up the prices, and those who are in debt should plant large crops to keep down the price.

One of the most critical of recent writers defines teschiog as the act of presenting objects and subjects of thought to the pupil'i mind as occasions of mental activity and knowledge : Instruction as the pupil's activity and knowledge, occasioned by teaching ; and educntion us the state of mind produced by instruction. These definitions make teaching the teacher's act, iBslriictmn the pupil's act, ami oduoation tlio result of both. The practical difficulty iu u?iug these terms in such radically distinct senses is the fact that they are imbedded in literature as nearly synonymous, being ofttn used as identical and interchangeable, and the same is true of thi eognate terms, teacher, instructor and educator. Teaching is the application of such means to the pupil's mind as to occasion those mental activities that result in knowledge, power aud skill its three immediate ml co-ordinate ends. Teaching is the occasion, the pupil s activity tho cause, and knowledge, power or skill the result. Teaching includes both instruction mid training; instruction being that part ol teaching which results in knowledge, and training that part which results in power and skill. While these different processes are distinguishable in thought, they are not separable in practice. Instruction is the act of presenting objects and subjects to the pupil's mind in such manner as to occasion these mental activities that resuit in knowledge. Instruction is the occasion, the pupil's meutnl activity tho cause, and knowledge is the result. Training is the occasioning ami directing of the pupil's activities in such a manner as to result iu power and skill, mental, moral ami physical. Training involves doing or practice, with power and skill ne ends ; as to train an army of soldiers, tc The words training and drill aro practical'/ synonymous. Education is any process or act which results iu knowledge, or power, or skill. It includes not only teaching and learning, but a'l acts, processes and influences which occasion these results, whether as scholarship, culture, habit or chsraotor. Thus we sec that education is a more OOinprencusive lerin man leacmiig, anu teaching more comprehensive than instruc tion. Straws Show Hew the Wind Blows, Says a reccut number of the Pansy "Hera is our list of eight words. Study them carefully until you have become familiar wilt their look. I do uot think I would use then as yot, lest people should thiuk you did no know how to spell. Probably before yoi arc men and women many of them will hav< come into common use. Indeed, two of then: can be found now ia tho columns of Tin Independent and several other leading jour nals : Present Way. Proposed Change Liable Liabl Know No Heart Hart Enrih Krth Incense Inccns Through Thru Love Lot A writer in The School Journal remark. thurt upon it : "The teachers will tell th< children that to learn the current spelling is, at present, a necessity ; but after awliih s[ oiling will be made easier and reasonable A child wastes time and mental energy whieh cou'tl be employed in useful studies while it is memorizing t-i-e tie, c-y-e eye n-i-g-h nigh, c-r-y cry, g-u-y guy : and when called upon to spell &//, the poor child is utterly a' a loss whether to spell it b y e, or b-u-y, or b-i-g-h, or b-y."' And at this point a bright young student of Uoion lifts a startled face to cry out, Ie there no way to stop them They'll juel ruin our language, and it is so much ensiet to remember and understand words that sound alike if tlicy arc spelled differently. Can't we do something to make them let out spelling a'eoe ?"' 1 do not think we tan, and sometimes I wonder where these ranting reformers will consent to slop. Our language is composite, node up of many elements, nnd continues ti gather words, both useful and ornamental from erery clime and country.
